Presented by Flux Projects in collaboration with Core Dance
Braiding Time, Memory and Water is a site-specific interactive dance performance by Sue Schroeder of Core Dance in collaboration with conceptual artist Jonathon Keats and composer Felipe Pérez Santiago. The performance responds to the geography and history of the site and encourages us to reconnect with our natural environment.
Alongside the creek in Tanyard Creek Park, Braiding Time, Memory and Water will unfold in three movements. With each movement a water clock will measure the rate of flow of the water, and its speed will determine the pace of the performance, thus enlisting the water as a natural timekeeper and a collaborator in the performance. Ambient sounds integrated into a larger sound composition will further nature’s collaboration in the work.
Local and international dancers with Core Dance will be joined by musicians from Bent Frequency and the Georgia State University Percussion Ensemble. More on the artists here.
To further engagement with the natural environment, community activities for all ages will take place prior to each performance.
